The creator and director of the original "Naked Gun" David Zucker is not excited about "The Naked Gun" remake ... saying he's not involved with the project, and he's worried the team behind it doesn't realize how difficult the spoof is.
Zucker -- director of famous classic comedies like 'Naked Gun' and "Airplane!" -- talked about the Paramount+ remake starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson ... and, he says he doesn't know how it's going to turn out 'cause no one's reaching out to him. Zucker says he and his partners, Pat Proft and Mike McManus submitted a script to Paramount back in 2018 ... and says they thought the studio liked the concept.
So, he says it came as a bit of a shock when they handed the franchise to a totally different set of creatives ... who he says haven't even reached out for advice or a possible cameo. As for how they'll handle the material ... he says this type of spoof isn't rocket science, but it sure ain't easy -- adding he often says, "Don't try this at home" when it comes to this style.
